To all whom it may concern:

Be it'known that I, LEONARD SHANE, of Hampton, in the county of Franklin and in the State of Iowa, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Planes; and do hereby declare that the following is full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings and to the letters of reference thereon, making a part of this specification.

lhe nature of my invention consists in the use of a device which is secured to the end of a plane, for the purpose of canting the same, for planing beveled surfaces, as will be set forth.

1n the annexed drawings, Figure l is an end view of a plane with device attached, and Fig. 2 is a perspective of same. In the figures, A represents the end of a plane, to which is connected, by means of a set-screw, a slotted bar, B. To one end of this bar B is pivoted a triangular guide-plate, D it is also connected to the bar B by means of a set-screw, i, which works through a slot, 0, in said plate. The

angle of the barD can be changed on the end of the plane by meansof the set-screw (J, and. the angle of the plate D can be changed on the bar B by means of its pivot and set-screw It will be seen that, by means of these two changes, the plane can be canted so that it will Work upon irregular surfaces.

Having thus fully described my invention,
